This book delves into the intricate connections between families, sports, and leisure, exploring their role in addressing broader social issues within society. By adopting a social justice and equity lens, it goes beyond merely describing oppression and disadvantaged identities and focuses on advocating for change and finding solutions to challenge the status quo.

The book employs an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon various theories to present groundbreaking new research on diverse topics such as the role of parents and siblings in youth sports, the family's contribution to sport for development and peace, and the dynamics of grandparent-grandchild relationships in sports, leisure, and family tourism. Additionally, several chapters shed light on the diverse realities of family lives, including LGBTQ older adults and children and young people in the care of the state.

Collectively, these studies provide valuable insights into how sports and leisure reflect and refract key contemporary social issues within the context of familial lives. This book is a must-read for students and researchers interested in sport, leisure, education, development, sociology, social work, or social policy. It offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between families, sports, and leisure, and provides valuable insights into how these aspects of our lives can contribute to social change and improvement.
